The Wisconsin receiving core was lucky enough to be the one unit on offense that was able to maintain a healthy standing for majority of the 2015 season.
But after eight games, that luck has run out, as junior wideout Rob Wheelwright left Saturday’s game against Illinois with a leg injury and is expected to miss an extended period of time.
Wheelwright, who currently leads the team in touchdown catches (4) and is second in both receptions (28) and yards (369), had finally established himself as a consistent threat in the passing, making the injury is a crushing blow for both the team and Wheelwright himself.
